    based on 79 ratings
     | 69,440 views

    6 powerful things found in the name above all names - Jesus Christ!

    “What’s in a Name?” (Acts 4:5-14) Well, what a privilege to again be in God’s house, in God’s pulpit, to share God’s message from God’s word with God’s people. It truly is a joy to be able to be with you this morning. The reason we’re here is to worship the true living God in spirit and in ...read more

  • Anchors During Adversity

    What are you anchored to when your world turns upside down in the storms of life?

    “Anchors During Adversity” (Romans 5:1-11) Weds. Night I’m glad you’re here tonight. You know, one of the things that has always been kind of a mystery to me is why more people don’t come to church on Wednesday night. I know that some people get home late and can’t come and I know that some ...read more

  • Boundless Grace, Even Through Judgment

    God’s wonderful banquet is free for all.

    I wonder if you’ve ever bought a new car? Different things appeal to different people, don’t they. Some people are concerned with the technical details about the engine, others are keen to buy from a local dealer, others want to stick with a manufacturer they’ve bought from before, others are ...read more

  • The Churches At Smyrna And Pergamum

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 10, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,025 views

    What can we learn today from the churches at Smyrna and Pergamum, one of the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 ?

    Why would letters be written to these churches? Well, Smyrna was a very important centre of trade, with a valuable harbour, and big wine business. It was a very beautiful city, even outstanding. In all the civil wars, the people of Smyrna always chose the right side to be: it was politically ...read more

  • The Onward Christian Soldier

    God has equipped the believer with His armor to use in the spiritual battles we face every day.

    The Onward Christian Soldier (Ephesians 6:10-20) Well folks, it’s great to be back with you tonight. It’s a real joy to be with those who love the Lord Jesus and love each other. I believe when we come to God’s house that this should be a place where we can enjoy each other’s company and ...read more

  • Church Anniversary Sermon

     | 136,678 views

    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel. It’s as though he was giving us a hint about ...read more

  • Church At Thyatira Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 17, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,844 views

    the next sermon in the series on the seven churches of Asia

    And so we come to the church at Thyatira. This is the longest of the seven letters, which, ironically, was written to the smallest and least important city. Unlike the other towns, we don’t know very much about Thyatira, so it’s not so easy to understand and interpret the contents of the letter. ...read more

  • Questions, Questions

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 25, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,136 views

    How do we respond to the questions of life? How did Jesus respond?

    It seems that questions fill our daily lives. Everywhere we go, we are confronted by questions. At home it might be very simple things like, “What’s for tea?” or, “When’s Grandma coming?”, “How can I afford it?”, “Who does she think she is?”, “What was that referee doing?”, “Why can’t I have ...read more

  • Church In Sardis

    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,150 views

    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

  • Two For The Price Of One

    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,248 views

    If anyone is in Christ there is a new creation - a sermon on this text for Holy Baptism and Holy Communion

    I remember once listening to Radio 4, when Christine Hamilton was being interviewed, talking about the relative poverty of he life after her husband Neil Hamilton famously lost his seat in the 1997 General Election. It was the first time I heard the phrase ‘BOGOF’. She was, of course, talking ...read more

  • Remembrance Sunday Sermon

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Nov 25, 2005
    based on 46 ratings
     | 24,737 views

    A sermon for Remembrance Sunday - the UK’s version of Veteran’s Day, always on the second Sunday in November.

    It’s very daunting for me to stand in a pulpit on this day of all days. The closest I’ve come to living through a war is seeing it on the television, and the closest I’ve come to active service was the school cadet force. Yet, today is still desperately important. This year we remember ...read more

  • Church In Philadelphia

     | 5,353 views

    The sixth of the seven churches - what might it have to say to us today?

    And so we come to the sixth of the seven letters to seven churches, the letter to the church in Philadelphia, which is of course in Asia, not the USA. What do we know about the city? Philadelphia was a strong fortress city, strategically located on the road from Rome to the east. It was a city of ...read more

  • Sermon For The Beginning Of Lent

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Aug 25, 2005
    based on 159 ratings
     | 30,100 views

    A sermon for the beginning of Lent, written for a small congregation in an English country chapel

    The shortest sermon ever recorded, which you won’t be getting this morning, consisted of the preacher going into the pulpit and quoting Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death”, and adding “there has been no change in the rate of pay. Amen”. It’s not very fashionable these days to talk about sin ...read more

  • Burning Bush & Our Ministry

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Aug 30, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,715 views

    Exposition of the Burning Bush, and linkage to Ministry of all believers mentioned in Romans and Matthew

    In the church where I grew up, a 1950s building, the most dominant visual feature was a huge stained glass window depicting a Burning Bush. There was a cross on the back wall of the Church, like there is here/in the United Reformed Church here, but the visual image that stuck in my mind, and I ...read more

  • When God Seems Far Away

    Contributed by Marty Hopkins on Sep 26, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 12,159 views

    A message for those who have serious questions for God as to why things happen the way they do.

    “When God Seems Far Away” (Habakkuk chapter 1) I have a message this morning that I think every person here can identify with. And as I prepared this message, I really wrestled with what to say and how to say because I don’t want anything to be taken wrong or misunderstood. I just want you to ...read more
